About
Amazon API Gateway is a fully managed AWS service that acts as an entry point for applications to access backend services such as 
Lambda functions, EC2 workloads, or any 
HTTP endpoint.
It routes and throttles API traffic, enforces authorization through IAM, 
Amazon Cognito, and Lambda authorizers, monitors performance with CloudWatch and X-Ray, supports canary releases and response streaming, and exposes REST APIs as MCP tools for AI agents.
Apache APISIX is an open-source, cloud-native API gateway built on 
Nginx and LuaJIT.
It provides load balancing, dynamic upstreams, canary releases, circuit breaking, and traffic splitting, applies configuration changes through etcd without restarts, and includes over 100 plugins for authentication, traffic control, and observability.
